It's gotta be the Total War series.

Latest version is Medieval 2 Total war. Stunning mix of real time battle, and epic strategy on a huge map.

Play a Christian nation and lead a crusade to the Holy land

You think the crusades were Holy?:doh

Love total war but i wouldn't go that far.
Rome total war, if you haven't played it, is one of the best games of all time over any console and you'll learn about history while playing it. I've probably logged as many hours in RTW as i have in any multiplayer game. Halflife 2 and those are fantastic but they just haven't got the same replay value as Rome. Also Rome can still bring even a new SLI system to it's knees.

Here's a sample of what you can expect.

just installed a game called Overlord. You play the bad guy and it pokes fun at a lot of the "evil overlord" cliches that you find in fantasy stuff like LOTR. it's kind of a cross between the old Dungeon Keeper games (humor wise), Pikmin (for gamecube), and Fable (graphically). not quite strategy or war but definitely fun and will tax your system.

dude, it's just a game:)

Never said the Crusades were holy, but it was nice to march into Jerusalem under a cross and knock down the Mosque and build a church

Funny I had a very very different feeling. When i saw Jerusalem on the map i became fairly hesitant even though i knew it was filled with evil...er...AI. :whistle I had to remind myself it was just a game.:lol2

Ah lets see… I’m playing a few right now, mainly older games. I still play Battlefield1942, working through the original Medal of Honor and expansions again, working through a CivIII game and it’s a very long one this time, play Anarchy Online once or twice a week for a bit, also World War II online is pretty good but I just went inactive on my subscription recently for a bit. Ones I’m waiting for are Pirates of the Burning Sea and Star Trek Online.

I don’t play WoW or LotRO even though mmorpg is by far my favorite genre. I did play LotRO beta from closed beta to open beta but I started with not knowing that they finally did add a magic casting class. Originally, when I was closely following development a couple years ago they were not going to add a magic class, but I’ve been so incredibly busy working on developing my own game that I lost track of changes to LotRO.

I was pretty disappointed when I logged into LotRO beta and saw some type of wizard/mage class shooting fire balls from their rear-ends. I already knew what was in WoW so passed it up from the beginning. I’m just turned off by the Occult obsession our society has embraced with a fervor. I used to play those games for entertainment, like EQ, UO, Diablo/D2, Baldur’s Gate, Elder Scrolls etc.. but stopped playing them though I really get tempted to play them again like with any worldly thing that tends to try to compel us into things that we probably should not mess with or give the impression to others that it’s perfectly ok to do… which must be in the least, questionable.

I miss the old EQ servers a lot though, sadly, EQ and UO must have been my two most played games ever. But you know, put something down that you shouldn’t be fooling with and it may be replaced with something far better. Yeah, that’s something that holds true :)
